# I had a big Echeveria that went through a fire. The outside leaves…

_Posted by Darlene on 2026-05-16_

I had a big Echeveria that went through a fire. The outside leaves were very damaged so I pulled them off to propagate. The center was repotted and is doing great. I took the leaves I pulled off and put them on soil and have been regularly misting them. Some have developed small roots. Are these ready to be potted? Thanks for your help!

I would wait until I see tiny baby plants next to the roots.
